Nicolo Gagliano violins

The Gagliano family are amongst the great makers of the Neapolitan tradition and are renowned for creating beautifully crafted old instruments. Nicolo Gagliano was the most famous of the Gagliano family, creating many fine instruments across his lifetime. The wonderfully unique style of his work shows strong Stradivari influences with distinct Gagliano qualities, such as the unusual scroll commonly used by the family.

The incredibly high standard of craftmanship associated with Nicolo Gagliano violins has made them widely sought-after amongst dealers, collectors and musicians across the world. Key features of his work, such as the yellow-toned varnish, beach wood and purfling have since become common trademarks of making at the Neapolitan school.
